• Vauxhall Astra J 1.7 cdti ecoflex - Dreadful fuel economy 4 Jun 2015 (Forum)
  I had hoped to keep the car for another 150,000 miles, and at this rate it will be too dear! I had thought of chipping, but do not want performance, just economy, and no rise in insurance costs. I would be most grateful.
• Hyunai coupe 2002 2.7 V6 - keeps stalling soon after start up 22 May 2015 (Forum)
  As Delphi are usually a good make, maybe Hyundai coupes are not good with aftermarket parts? Can't even put the old one back as it was so brittle it literally broke into bits in my hand as I was pulling it off. Any help would be nice thanks.

• Segregated parts - tin sheds - glass palaces 24 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  I always think of the old Lada dealerships as an association with tin sheds. Or the old Skoda places, in the days of the rear wheel drive models. Locally, Toyota and VW have recently moved out of what seemed like the next step up from tin sheds - into new glass palaces.
• Mercedes Benz E-Class W124 Estates (1985 - 1996) - 89 2.3 Current leak 10 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  The traction control is in fault and I have removed the controller; this makes no difference to the current draw. The cruise control hasn't worked for the last 10 years. The battery is 3 years old, Bosch Silver, but seems okay. The ignition coil is as 'old as the hills', but doesn't seem to be drawing large currents. Does anyone have some advice?
• Nissan Micra (1992 - 2003) - 02 1.0 Service & Oil Change 11 May 2008 (Forum)
  my sister has asked me to do a small service on her Micra. Its been ages since I did car mechanics; I will have to change my A/F spanners for Metric!

• Nissan Micra (1992 - 2003) - 00 1.0 Noise from CVT box on overrun 14 Feb 2008 (Forum)

• Volkswagen Polo (1981 - 1991) - 1984 1050cc - carburettor icing 4 Jan 2008 (Forum)

  Hi all, I'm new, so apologise if I'm raking over old ground....please point me in the direction of previous answers in that case! I have read DaisyH's thread, but didn't want to hijack it as my questions aren't quite the same. I am getting a second hand car.
• Diesel options 31 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  I paid (well my parents paid) £11,495 for my Golf when it was about 3months old, 6 months ago. By Trading it in, I expected to make a loss, however the dealer (VW) would only offer me £9000 against the TDI. Im not happy about losing £2500 in 6 months. So my options are; 1) Sell my Golf privately (£10-£10.5k?)
• spark plugs & engine light. Daihatsu YRV 5 Jul 2005 (Forum)
  I rang Daihatsu who were surprised that 2 prong-thing sparks would have caused this to happen, and suggested putting the old ones back in, which I have done. I started the engine after putting the old sparks back in, but the MIL was still on, which is really confusing me. Is it possible that changing the spark plugs did this?
